I was trying to "simulate" flight in my living room by leaving off the props and starting the motors as though it was flying. But every time, it gave me a message that I shold land immediately and it was going into 5 motor mode. The motors started randomly vibrating wildly. So I thought my mainboard was bad on the bird.
But then I decided to put on the props and tie down the drone so it couldn't actually fly. Problem went away!
What's the take away? The motors sense a load (duh) and when one isn't there, it assumes a prop is broken, hence the 5 motor mode message.
Just sharing a lesson to maybe help someone in the future!
